The race to be the leader of Alberta’s United Conservative Party is now down to three candidates.

He says concerns over former Wildrose leader Brian Jean, who is also running for the top job, played into his decision.
Callaway says Jean has a top-down management style and has lost touch with the grassroots.
The other remaining candidate is Doug Schweitzer.
The leader will be picked on Oct. 28.
